Caffeine. Courseware Evaluation for Vocational and Technical Education.
Ohio State Univ., Columbus. National Center for Research in Vocational Education.
This courseware evaluation rates the "Caffeine" program developed by Lane Community College and sold by the Oregon Department of Education. (The program--not included in this document--is part of a computer-assisted instruction project with nursing applications.) Part A describes "Caffeine" in terms of topics (food and nutrition, allied health) and hardware requirements (Apple II and peripherals), indicates its suitability as a tutorial for 11th-grade to adult instruction, and estimates time for use (20-30 minutes). Availability information includes cost ($5.00), policies, and contact address. Part B contains the evaluation criteria in eight categories; reviewer ratings appear as yes, somewhat, no, and not applicable, with explanatory comments. Part C summarizes the evaluation. The strengths of this program are good graphics, concise presentation of information, and excellent reinforcement. Weaknesses include no printout capability, lack of documentation, and too long a list of objectives. Summary ratings in the eight categories include the following: subject matter, technical presentation, student interaction, and program interaction--yes; student evaluation and documentation--somewhat; work behaviors and application programs--not applicable. The program is recommended for individualized instruction in classrooms and informal settings such as doctors' offices. (SK)
